The Chimera KeywordĪs I mentioned in the nerf article, the Chimera keyword underwent what I’d term a “rebalancing,” with the Cerberus getting a bit weaker (but maybe not!) and the Rattler and Mauler getting buffs to make them more compelling. Wyrd decided they were fine as they were. But you will actually use Backup now that it doesn’t cost you a card, and a soulstone is a soulstone. I think this is more “mixed” than flat-out buff, since Arrest Order is a mediocre trigger and they no longer get a Stat 7 Crit Strike gun, and you really don’t want these guys in melee since they won’t survive for long against anything reasonably killy. Ok, that’s not fair: A New Horizon was actually good when you could stone for it. ![]() And they’ve lost A New Horizon, an action nobody ever took, ever. That’s… not great? I’d much rather be making Stat 6 (or 7!) shots than Stat 6 (or 7!) swings with my 5/5/7, no-defensive-tech minion.Įach attack has gained the Arrest Order trigger, which is fine, though probably not something you’re ever going to cheat for (or stone for, with Butcher). Most controversially, their Balanced Sword and Peacebringer have swapped stats, the sword going to stat 6 and the gun to stat 5. Their Backup ability lets them gain Staggered instead of discarding a card to take a shot. Sergeants have gotten a Soulstone cheaper. And Sergeants aren’t standouts but you saw one pretty regularly. Guard is a fine Keyword, especially under Dashel Barker, Butcher. Without further ado, let’s jump right into things! This article will cover the buffs I’ll address the many nerfed models separately. You can find the errata’d cards here and the changelog here. But at least some of Malifaux’s champion dust-gatherers are getting a new coat of paint, and the game is likely to be better as a result. There are still a few models that I think could use a bit of a buff: Wrastlers Bandidos the entire Syndicate keyword. But there haven’t been any major releases since Madness, and so the errata cycle has finally caught up to where the game is now. First it was Nexus and English Ivan, then before they got tweaked in February 2022 we had the Malifaux Burns titles tearing it up, and by the time they faced the music in November 2022 we had the Madness masters out in the wild. This errata may be the first time in almost three years that the meta is without truly oppressive outliers. Mali-folks, I have to tell you, I feel good. ![]() The Madness of Malifaux was a little too mad, and some of the game’s coolest and most flavorful models were sadly relegated to the shelf.įortunately, the Buff Fairy has flown by, sprinkling pixie dust on the most deserving little back-benchers. Look what we have here! A hot steaming pile of errata! And not a moment too soon, too.
